sure of the difference between 1 phase and 3 phase. The descriptions
both say they are 5 HP. My shop is currently wired with 240v, 20 amp
and 30 amp plugs.


If you don't have three phase power you can't use a three phase tool
(at least not without going to a lot of extra work). If you don't
know whether you have three phase then it's almost certain that you
don't.
